Priesthood Today

Bishop Patrick O’Donoghue takes the opportunity of this ‘Year for Priests’ to re-examine the role of the priesthood today, especially in the light of the lessons we can learn from the life of St John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests. He examines four main themes: a priest’s courage to proclaim salvation, to share in the self-emptying of Christ, his freedom for mission and his immersion in the truth of Faith.
